PSYCHE. 



Campylacantha olivacea Scudd. — I have 

 specimens from Fort Smith and Fayette- 

 ville as well as from Mackey, I. T. The 

 earliest recorded date for its capture 

 is August second, the latest October 

 eighth, though doubtless some specimens 

 survive until settled cold weather which 

 generally does not come until after 

 Christmas. It is a rather rare species 

 so far as my observation goes, though it 

 is sometimes abundant locally. It oc- 

 curs in dry pastures. 



Hcsperotcttix pratcnsis Scudd. — A sin- 

 gle female was found in the summer of 

 1897 near Buffalo City, Marion County 

 which I refer to this species with some 

 hesitation. It was found in the mouth 

 of a gully at the foot of the divide be- 

 tween Big Buffalo and White Rivers. 

 Timber occurred sparsely here but vege- 

 tation was abundant. A long search in 

 this vicinity failed to reveal any more 

 specimens. 



Dendrotfttix qiierms Riley. — This spe- 

 cies is represented in my collections by 

 one male and six females, all except one 

 female captured near Clifty, Carroll 

 Co., June twenty-ninth. The female 

 referred to was taken near Elkins, 

 Madison Co., July thirty-first. 



Paratylotropidia hniuneri Scudd. — This 

 very interesting and apparently very 

 rare species is found in Arkansas. It is 

 represented in my collection by a sin- 

 gle pair, male and female, captured near 

 Clifty, Carroll Co., June twenty-ninth. 

 I refer these specimens unwillingly to 

 the same species as they are remark- 

 ably different in the distinctness of the 

 lateral carinae which are obsolete in the 

 female and very distinct in the male, 

 and in the fastigium of the vertex, which 

 is not perceptibly declivent in male and 

 exceedingly prominent, while in the 

 female it is moderately declivent and 

 distinctly less prominent. In other re- 

 spects they agree as well as male and 

 female of the same species usually do. 

 The single pair, male and female, known 

 to Scudder were from Dakota and Texas 

 respectively. As the male was an im- 

 perfect specimen, the structure of the 

 furcula could not be given. 



The Arkansas male shows not the 

 faintest trace of furcula and the last 

 dorsal segment is not interrupted in the 

 median line. The female at first glance 

 has very much the appearance of a short 

 winged Mclanoplus biviitatus Say.
